RE: How to select text only for element with mixed content?

If you want all the text nodes, you have to use xsl:for-each instead of
xsl:value-of. xsl:value-of always gets the value of the first matching node.


So use something like this: 

<xsl:template match="Tag1">
	<Test1>
		<xsl:for-each select="text()">
			<xsl:value-of select="."/>
		</xsl:for-each>
	</Test1>
</xsl:template>
